Well the engineers at Edison are also one of the end users of the trucks. One of the reasons new tech often sucks is because the designers/engineers/managers are just collecting a paycheck and don’t care past the advertised specs. They don’t care about real world use and don’t think they’ll even be in the company for all that long anyway.
I feel like that can be a good explanation for boring new tech like B2B middleware or enshittification schemes or whatnot, but I feel like folks working at something like an EV startup would tend to be true believers and thus excited about their jobs.
